Ps: i forgot to mention that in my understanding user type management was
depending on the deployment of the new idm, but maybe upm has in mind a
solution that does not require that.

>> *Step 2: Increase of computing capacity in Spain-2 node*

>>
>> *Step 3: New Trial users only allowed to work on Spain-2 node**.
>> Limitation of number of concurrent trial users.*
>>
>>   Changes will be implemented in the Cloud portal and the user account
>> registration process/tool by UPM so that new Trial users will only see the
>> Spain-2 node.  In addition, Trial users will be limited to 100 Trial users.
>>
>>   Note that the "Trial Users", until the new IdM/Keystone component is

>>
>>   This step should be implemented by this Wednesday April 15th.

>>

>>
>>   Those legacy users whose application is accepted and who were hosted in

>> to any of the other nodes (a recommendation will be given).    The Spain-1
>> and the Prague nodes will not host community users.   As a result, no users
>> will remain in these two nodes by May 1st.
>>
>>
>> *Step 5: Deployment of new IdM/Keystone component and upgrading of
>> Community Users*. *  Migration of Spain-1 and Prague nodes to OpenStack
>> Juno.*
>>
>>   This step will start May 1st.   Then, we will deploy the new version of
>> the IdM/Keystone component.
>>
>>   Users whose application to become Community Users has been approved
>> will become Community Users.   Environments of those Trial users who has
>> overpass the 2 weeks trial period will be cleaned out.    From then on, the
>> new user account management policies will be in place, with the new
>> IdM/keystone component supporting the ability to distinguish between kind
>> of users and the nodes each will be able to get access to.
>>
>>   In parallel, Spain-1 and Prague nodes should start their migration to
>> Juno.   Once they migrate, they will be made available as part of the
>> federation (maybe the physical resources allocated to the Spain-1 node will
>> be assigned to the Spain-2 node).
>>
>>
>> *Step 6: Assessment of nodes in the FIWARE Lab federation.   Bringing
>> FIWARE Lab nodes into quarantine.*
>>
>>   After April 23th, performance of the several nodes in the FIWARE Lab
>> federation will be weekly assessed.   Those nodes who exhibit a bad
>> performance (instability, low response to request for help by users) will
>> be put into quarantine and their users (Community Users) will be asked to
>> migrate to the Spain-2 node.
